Talking Travel with Pico Iyer and a book give-away {Gadling}
Mar 16th 2009 5:02PM While walking in the 6th arr. in Paris, on a sunny winter day, we turn a corner and encounter a small girl wearing a black beret with long curly hair. Her grey wool coat looks as if it is buttoned over several layers. She is carrying two long baguettes wrapped in brown paper. There is a slight smile on her face. She is followed by an elderly lady pulling a wire cart filled with groceries. We imagined that it was the little girl's grandmother. The sidewalk was so narrow that we had to step into the street to let them pass. We uttered "Bon jour" and stood in silence and watched... the essence of living in Paris as we would want it to be.

10 tips for making a trip more affordable {Gadling}
Dec 15th 2008 2:04PM Absolutely agree with your suggestions!
We just finished a 23 day trip through England and France. We had one night at a 5-star chateau followed be a 65 Euro a night hotel. It turned out that BOTH were excellent values! And we didn't feel so guilty about splurging at the chateau!
Another suggestion: I build a spreadsheet on my PDA so that I can compare actual daily expenses to our budget. So if we spend less than budget on the first few days/stops I know that we can splurge a little for the rest of the trip!
